For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

      Was about to mentioned it. I have the Fp5 and the only thing that i miss is the headphonejack. Everything else is there:

      • battery which can be just swapped
      • expendable storage
      • easy to repair
      • the parts are also reasonably priced

      Sure, but the Fairphone 5 is €700 and, ease of repair aside, you can get a better phone for less than half the price. Repairability doesn’t mean much when buying a cheaper (and otherwise better) phone and fully replacing it ends up being, well, cheaper.
